Join Duolingo’s content program management team to help scale Duolingo course content for beginners through advanced learners.

We are looking for a world-class operational leader who can build on recent successes in scaling Duolingo course content to help develop a large-scale subject-agnostic AI-powered content machine. You’ll help us plan, develop, and launch high-quality learning content to our key markets in our language learning courses, or our new subjects such as Math and Music. You will partner with our curriculum developers on processes and quality, and with engineering and product on internal tooling. You will also work with R&D to transition successful new content types to be ready for scaling.

If you have established expertise in developing efficient processes and driving high-output operations at scale, as well as strong management experience, this job is for you.
